Message: <blockquote data-quote="[OMENRPG]Ben" data-source="post: 5625575" data-attributes="member: 6677983">I've found that GM'ing with my current group is really the only way that I can enjoy the game. Perhaps it is the level of control, or the amount of involvement inherently necessary in being the GM, but playing to me is so simple and boring in comparison.Many of my friends have tried to GM over the years, and after a fairly short-lived, uninspired campaign, the entire group generally agrees to move on to *my* next game, which of course, I had been secretly planning all along.Now, that being said, I have gotten GM burnout recently, and due to working on OMEN so fervently, I'm happily enjoying a game that one of my newer players put together. Yes, it's still a little boring, but it is more of a beer and pretzels game, which is fine by me in my current state.So, to directly answer your question, I GM for myself because I understand the group enjoys my games more than others. If I had a plethora of other players, I might be more willing to play than eager to GM. But if my party isn't enjoying themselves, I mean really really loving it, I either try to change the game to their tastes while still remaining in the context of the campaign I've set up, or can the game altogether and start with something fresh.</blockquote>
